Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Strabane?
Planning for a single-storey rear extension in Strabane follows the Northern Irish householder rules.
In Northern Ireland the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 allows a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres on an attached house or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres within 2 metres of a boundary. Building control approval from the council is still required.
Northern Ireland has no larger-extension prior approval route; anything beyond permitted development needs a planning application.
Conservation areas, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and listed buildings restrict permitted development in Northern Ireland. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Strabane like to extend?
Semis and detached houses are typical of Strabane, and many have room for a rear extension within Northern Ireland's permitted development limits.
